AceShowbiz - As Nikki Garcia, formerly Nikki Bella, traverses through the daunting process of divorce from Artem Chigvintsev, she is feeling the love and support from those closest to her. The 40-year-old reality TV star and her twin sister Brie Garcia have always shared a close bond, which has become even more evident through Nikki's current hardships.

Brie took a moment in the Sept. 23 episode of their "Nikki & Brie" podcast to reassure fans about her sister's well-being. "Nikki isn't here because, as you all know, she's going through something personal in her life," she explained. "But she sees all the support and love and we're always grateful for all of your love and support, so thank you all for that."

Brie added that Nikki is focused on moving forward with their 4-year-old son Matteo.

Nikki filed for divorce on September 11, just two weeks after Chigvintsev's arrest on suspicion of domestic violence. Official documents show that Nikki is seeking sole legal and physical custody of Matteo, while Artem, in his response, has requested joint custody and spousal support from Nikki.

The couple, who had separated on August 29, have emphasized through their respective representatives the importance of co-parenting and working together for Matteo's best interests during this challenging time.

In light of the legal proceedings and personal struggles, Nikki hasn't secluded herself entirely. The former WWE star was spotted alongside her sister in Napa Valley, grocery shopping for pumpkins without her wedding ring, shortly after the divorce filing.

Artem Chigvintsev, 42, is also supported by his social circle amidst this trying period. His close friend and fellow "Dancing with the Stars" professional, Gleb Savchenko, expressed unwavering support, describing Artem as "part of the family." Cheryl Burke, another "DWTS" family member, emphasized to People the importance of both Nikki and Artem to take time to heal, even suggesting a temporary pause in career pursuits if necessary.

The legal implications of Artem's arrest are serious, with the sheriff explaining that felony domestic violence charges typically arise from visible injuries or credible eyewitness statements. Authorities respect the privacy of the alleged victim and have not released their identity.

As Nikki and Artem navigate their respective paths, their shared commitment to co-parenting Matteo remains paramount. Their journey underscores the complexities and emotions involved in modern relationships and highlights the enduring power of familial support and resilience.
